Description: 新埔義民廟 / Loyal Compatriots' Temple, Sinpu

This historic temple was built in 1786 for the worship of the Hakka martyrs who supported Ching's military to resist the dissidents' leader, Lin Shunang-wen. Later on, the Emperor Chienlung conferred the citation to praise their bravery.

為一歷史悠久的古廟，清乾隆五十一年，客家人為支援清軍對抗林爽文反清復明而殉難之軍民遺骸所建之義民塚，乾隆特書「褒忠」表旌，後人建廟奉祀。
